Killed in Charge--Whole German Battalion Wiped Out--HRussians Now Masters Of Own Land. Victorious London, March 2.----The Daily Telegraph's correspondent wires from Petrograd: It seems no longer that Russian soil has premature to the German invasion of definitely failed. The outstanding features of the situation are that the enemy has been forced into the defensive at al most every point along the Niemen- Bobr-Narev line, that the centre has been completely smashed at Przis nysz and that en a sector ef thirty or forty miles he is retreating rapid- lv----here and there in disorder? "Several Russian regiments"which have been following up the Germans day and night have so far sent in no detailed reports, confirming themsel- ves to the Laconic statement that the enemy was running, and Przgs- nysz which has becn occupied by the Germans, had returned into the pos- gesgion of its rightful master at 11 o'clock Friday night, and that the booly captubed;. it wa expected, would be considerable . assert 8 An Automobile Charge, "In the big battle which preced- ed the expulsion of the enemy from the town, splendid work was done by a detachment of armored auto- mobiles under Staff Captain Gurdoff. i The Russian attack was seriously im-, peded by a battery posted near Dob- zinkova, five miles southeast of Przasnysz, en the road to Makolf. As it 'was found impossibel to silente the bombardment by ordinary me- thods, Captain Gurdoff - gallantry chargdd with his automobiles to within twenty paces of where" ihe battery was stationed and with ma- chine gun fire annihilated its crews. "The dashing exploit cost the life of this plucky officer However, his self-sacrifice was not in vain, as the destruction of the battery had a de- cigive effect on the course of the whole engagement, Russian cav- alry also captured some of the en e my 's guns by daring charges. "A significant incident occurred near Charnevo, 13 miles south of Augistowo. At this point one of the ifibutaries of the Bobr and the immense swamps which flank it on both sides are traversed by a cause- way, and across this a battalion of a newly-formed German corps. was seen marching in close column, with the officers at the head, just as if returning from a parade. No pre- parations had been made to deal with a sudden attack, and no scout had been thrown out. Battalion Wiped Out. "The Russian gunners waited un- til the unsuspecting Germans were within comfortable range, and then opened a deadly fire. #4 The battalion made no attempt to deploy or to de- fénd Iigelr, but sought safety in os- trich-lke tactics, all the men flinging themselves on the ground and sham- ming dedth. Six German batteries on the right bank of the river tried to rescue them, but the Russian ar- tillery accounted for the entire bat- talion with the exception of a few iflicers and a score or two of men who had already crossed the stream and were taken prisoners. This helplessness is only one of many symptoms of a loss of tone which have shown themselves among the Germans on this front, and which are no doubt largely' due to quanti tative defects in the officers' corps. A Word To The Embalmers., A. Wilson, Vennachar, writes with regard to the alleged experience of two Kingston embalmers with wolves near that place recently. He says it was too bad there was not { some strychnine on the meat the em- balmers say their driver threw out of the sleigh to halt the progress of the onconyng wolves, for there is a bounty of'§$15 for a wolf skin. How- ever, Mr. Wilson says that there are - old | some wolves back there, but | tured one of trappers cannot coax them to chase them or to eat pieces of meat they | leave for the animals.

Nickle, who made another attempt at Monday night's, City Council meeting to spur it into action. He asked the mayor, who is a member of the commis- sion; by virtue of his office, why it is that questions submitted by the council to that body had remained so long unanswered. The mayor's {reply was that the commission was dealing with them in its own way. This did not satisfy Ald, Nickle, who proceeded to hurl defiance at the body of three wio control the po- lice department of Kingston by refer- ring to the recent charges he had ade against the police system.

The liberal lead- er moved for particulars in regard to the lands taken possession of by the goverment in connection with the creation of the camp at Valearveer. » He sought to find out why the forty or fifty farmers who had been dis- possessed of their lands and crops at harvest time had not yet received pay for the same. The site had been chosen, the min- ister said, by Col. McBain, and a committee of the militia council with his (the minister's) approval.
